Below are the breeds responsible for most attacks on Royal Mail employees last year...according to the Royal Mail Courier. Perhaps Kwak might confirm it.

I can't see any of the so called 'dangerous breeds' listed there.

German Sherperds's - 247
Jack Russel's - 192
Border Collie's - 182
Labrador's - 78
Rottweiler's - 45
Boxer's - 21
Doberman's - 12

That's because they are locked away at the back of the house

I wouldn't trust my cat left alone with a baby. You should see the state of my arm from a totally unprovoked attack from him this week. I've had to warn the local children to keep away from him cos he'll just turn on you.

RIP.

how awful

RIP little one

Seems strange how some dogs will tolerate a fair level of being annoyed by kids and never turn, and form a strong protective bond... where others will turn nasty unprovoked.

It's in the genetic make up. But as has been posted previously, no dog should be left alone with very young children.

Staffords did other tasks aprt from fighting. As is usually the case, a lot of people DO NOT understand that there is a difference between agression towards other animals and aggression towards humans.

When Staffords where fought, do people think the dogs were just chucked in a cage and left to it?

I can say now that, a lot of the people who 'ignorants' might see as 'boneheads' would not tolerate human agression from Staffords. Compare that to any of the other fluffys owned by seemingly upstanding members of society.....who haven't got a clue.

Animals have personalities just like humans do. Some are nasty and others are nice. There is no way of knowing what sort of dog a pup is going to turn into. It's not all about how you train them.

On similar note, how many people would think of a rotty as a herding dog...

Round here, most of the people who own staffys are dolescum who want one to look 'ard, and have no idea how to train a dog. That's why they're dangerous!

As for labs attacking postmen, the number is probably due to labs being most common dog around.
